What’s the Difference Between Confidence and Arrogance?

This is one of my favourite questions.

As soon as you realise that you already know the difference, you will never come across as arrogant again.

I believe the primary difference between confidence and arrogance is… intent.

If your intent is to make you look good, to be the big I am, cleverer than you, the ‘special one’ (remember him?), then it’s easy for you to appear to be arrogant.

If your intent is to serve, share, and improve lives, then it’s more likely you will come across as confident.

Two people can say the same words at the same time in the same situation. They can even act in similar ways. And yet, one still appears to be confident while the other one is arrogant.

What do you want to be known as?
